According to the Physio DC website, recovery time can be broken down into three stages. The first is “acute pain stage”, where the patient may have difficulty sleeping and a physical therapy process begins. This lasts between 4-6 weeks. The second stage lasts from 12-16 weeks and includes strengthening and stretching the repaired shoulder. The final stage is another 6-12 weeks of transitioning back to their normal routine.

This entire process can take between 9-12 months before the patient feels completely normal again. Of course, Leblanc-Bazinet is in peak physical condition and will likely rehab and heal faster than the average person on the street, but she may not be 100% by the time the Open rolls around in February.

At the end of Leblanc-Bazinet’s caption on Instagram, she hinted that she will now have time to work on a “very exciting project” that she can’t wait to share with her followers. Stay tuned.
